WINE RACK

Hey guys! Whitney and Ashley here from Shanty-2-Chic.com! We are so excited to be here with you. We started our site 3 years ago to teach other women how to decorate their homes on a budget. We are constantly building new pieces for our home with lots of bang for very little buck! We have a passion for DIY and hope to inspire all of our readers to pick up their tools and get to work!

Steps

Today we will be showing you all how to make a simple rustic chic wine rack for under $15. Can’t beat that!

We used our Ryobi 10″ Compound Miter Saw to make all the cuts. This saw makes it simple and quick! We had them done in no time!

Before attaching all of our pieces, we like to sand all of our corners and edges down a bit. We love the look it gives the finished piece! Ryobi’s 18V ONE+ Corner Cat Finish Sander is one of our very favorite tools. It isn’t bulky or heavy at all, and the power this tool gives is awesome! LOVE. We use it all the time and it’s perfect for this job.

After we had all of our boards attached, we gave the whole piece a coat of dark wood stain. After it dried we went back over the edges and corners again with our Ryobi Corner Cat to give it a worn finish. Love it! We also decided to add a small label on the front of each board using chalkboard paint. We just taped the area off with blue tape and spray painted the chalkboard paint on. Totally optional!

Our final step was adding our hex screws. Just insert 1 into each of the holes and you are set!

Make sure to use anchors on the wall if you can’t attach yours to a stud.
